Suggested donation: $10 – Adults, $5 – Children under 10 FEASTS March 26 Median Day of Great Lent (Mijink) March 29 Commemoration of the Forty Holy Martyrs SUNDAY OF THE STEWARD The fourth Sunday of Great Lent is called the Sunday of the Steward, and the message of the day comes from the Parable of the Unjust Steward. This Parable is mentioned only in the Gospel of St. Luke (16:1-13). In this Parable, a wealthy man learns that the steward of his house (the supervisor of his holdings) is squandering his possessions. The rich man, then, calls forth the steward and asks for an accounting of his possessions, having already decided to release him from employment. The steward, realizing that he may soon be without work, begins to act properly so that in the near future, if he is indeed fired, others may accept him into their homes. He calls forth those men who are in debt to his employer and relieves them of certain portions of their debts. Upon learning of this ploy, the wealthy man praises the steward for his contrivance rather than chastising him for it. At first glance, there appears a great contradiction in the master’s commendation. But the unjust steward grants back to the debtors only that which he had added to the original debt owed his master for his own gain. Thus, the wealthy man is not injured by the actions of his steward. The master praises the steward for resigning himself from the gains he would have otherwise realized through these transactions. Here, high praise is given for resignation and abstaining from future sinful behavior, which are also foundations of Great Lent, and not only for just behavior. Thus, Lent teaches mankind about the ability we each have to resign ourselves from all forms of temptation, the beginning of which is self-control and self- denial, even if we have been living sinfully. Christ says, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Matthew 16:24). This parable reminds every one of us that the journey towards salvation must include self-control and resignation. The allegorical meaning of the parable involves the wealthy man symbolizing God and the unjust steward symbolizing the sinner. For an extended period of time, the sinner carelessly wastes the graces granted by God until God finally calls him forth for an accounting of his life. The unjust steward symbolizes all of us who, upon regretting our own ac2tions, forgive those who have sinned against us and become true seekers of righteousness and justice. MEDIAN DAY OF GREAT LENT (MIJINK) As established by Archbishop Malachia Ormanian, the 24th day (or the fourth Wednesday) of Great Lent marks the halfway point of Great Lent--called Mijink in Armenian. From the halfway point forward, a number of hymns written by the composer Stegh hymns are sung during the Peace Service held in the evenings on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Another Mijink custom involves a folk tradition in which the housewife of every household bakes an unleavened cake and puts a coin in it while baking. The rest of the year will be successful for the family member who finds this coin in his/her portion of the cake. COMMEMORATION OF THE FORTY HOLY MARTYRS The Forty Holy Martyrs who perished in approximately 320 AD were Christians from various towns and cities of Lesser Armenia. They served as soldiers in the royal regiment of Sebastia. Upon the decree of the Roman Emperor Likianos, interrogations were organized by Lucias, Duke of Caesarea, to discover the Christian soldiers. Forty of the soldiers remained steadfast in their faith, defied the judges by their brave answers and were imprisoned. On a cold winter night, the soldiers were thrown into a lake near Sebastia to freeze them to death. At dawn, halos are seen encircling the heads of the soldiers. One of the guards charged with the execution of the forty, upon witnessing the holy phenomenon, accepts Christ and throws himself into the lake to be martyred along with the others. In the morning, it becomes apparent that through a divine miracle, the forty soldiers have been saved from freezing. This infuriates their captors who execute them thus making them martyrs. (One of the forty soldiers, being unable to endure the torments, comes out of the water and finds refuge in a bathhouse built on the banks. The lone soldier dies and is deprived of both earthly and heavenly life.) The martyrs’ remains are buried in Sebastia, where subsequently a forty-domed Cathedral is built. The Cathedral of Sebastia stood for nearly one thousand years until the invasion of Tamerlane and the Mongols at the end of the 14th Century. The name Forty Martyrs Cathedral has survived to this day. AREVAKAL: THE SUNRISE SERVICE (cont.) By Fr. Zaven Arzumanian The Structure of the Sunrise Service This service has a particular order to it. It starts with songs, goes to a litany by the deacon, and a prayer by the priest, and that comprises one set. There are four of those sets. It is noticeable that the Sunrise Service does not include any Scriptural reading as such, particularly from the New Testament. There are, instead, scattered verses from the Book of Psalms. Those four sets of Hymns, litanies and prayers are identified as follows: The first set: is universal by nature: ‘’All the nations of the earth shall be blessed in Him… From the East to the West, from the North to the South all nations and peoples, bless the Creator.’’ The second set: is intercession by nature: The martyred saints and the beloved of the heavenly Father are sought. Prayers are addressed to them and the key-word is Parekhosetsek (intercede ye, 0 Saints). The third set: comprises the central theme itself, i.e. the light as the expression of the divinity through the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The attributes of this light are righteousness, wisdom, mercy and peace. The fourth set: comprises the conclusive theme, i.e. the way, coupled with the truth and the life, all three identified with our Lord Jesus Christ. Purely a spiritual journey, an ascension from the earth to heaven. (To be continued) THE CLOSED ALTAR (PAGYAL KHORAN) The altar curtain will remain closed for the forty days of Great Lent and will not be reopened until Palm Sunday (April 13th). There will also be no offering of Holy Communion during Divine Liturgy until Palm Sunday. (Should anyone desire Holy Communion for emergency reasons during Great Lent, however, please contact Father Hovhan for special dispensation.) In addition to these two major changes, the following changes also occur to the celebration of Divine Liturgy during Great Lent: There is no Kiss of Peace. The Holy Gospel Book is not venerated after service. The organ is not played as congregants are departing from the sanctuary. Congregants should remain silent when exiting the sanctuary after worship in respect of those who remain to offer devotional prayers. Finally, weddings are not celebrated during Great Lent.

There were more than three hundred of them! What a wonderful time of worship, prayer and fellowship!

The worship service was led by Mrs. Houry Mousa Oghli, who also gave a brief information about the country of Slovenia and prayer topics from that country. This year the chosen theme was based on Luke 14:17, ‘At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ The program also included Scripture readings, spiritual songs and prayers. The keynote speaker was Dr. Houry Azezian. She mainly focused on the important role of women in obeying God's call to achieve justice, peace and prosperity.

    The Maronite Voice A Publication of the Maronite Eparchies in the USA Volume XIV Issue No. IV April 2017 Witness hat qualified her to be the first Catechism teacher at Our Lady of WLebanon (then Mission) in Flint, Michigan? I suppose that Monsignor Ronald Bechara, Pastor, saw in her a good wife, a good mother, an active member of the Mission, a person in whom people could trust, and a woman who loved her Christian faith so much that she took a risk to trust in the fledging Mission. She and her husband and six children were there every Sunday. She was chosen by her high school class to crown the Virgin Mary. She married right after high school, had her first child a year later, and raised her six children to live with as much love, forgiveness and dignity as possible. When she suffered from acute leukemia she questioned God, but the answer she quickly found was to make of her suffering something that could bear witness to Christ for the sake of the many loves in her life: husband, children, family, friends and Church. In the toughest times she would seek God and seek after the good of others. When it was her time to say goodbye, she did so as a woman of faith, a witness. She looked at the best in each person, even though she knew also the other side. She chose to build up each person even when she held enough secrets to tear them down. She was a witness to what our Lord lived and died for, because she lived and died for the same.
